Members of Tullamore Camera Club were delighted as they captured the appearance of Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in the night skies.

It was the brightest comet in the sky since Hale-Bopp lit our skies in 1997.

Comet A3 provided yet another opportunity for the camera club to hone their astrophotography skills.

The next meeting takes place at Offaly Historical Society premises, Bury Quay on Thursday, November 28, at 8pm.
